Bauhinia natalensis

Natalsebeesklou (Afr.)

Bauhinia natalensis can be grown as a solitary specimen, but has a lovely massed effect when grown in small groups of three or five. It flowera prolifically for long periods of time and the individual flowers are quite long-lived. Its multi-stemmed habit provides a suitable screen or it suits an informal shrub border. It has a very mild root system and can be used for growing against fences and walls.
